Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Vitor Belfort wants a rematch against fellow former champion Chuck Liddell.
Back in 2002, Belfort lost a decision to Liddell at UFC 37.5.
“Liddell is very interesting, not just for me but for the fans,” Belfort told MMA Fighting. “I think about the legend league, I think the UFC should do it and I think that would be a good start. Chuck is a legend, we fought in the past. I think I won that fight but they gave it to him. Back in the days, he was managed by the owners of the UFC and Dana. Today is totally different.
“I see it as one of the options, the many options the UFC has to pursue it. We have so many legends in the UFC and so many things could happen in the future.”
Last Saturday, at UFC 212, Belfort won a decision against Nate Marquardt in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Liddell has not fought since 2010. However, he had recently shown interest in making a return to the sport.
